Halloween 2009

This year for Halloween Elijah wanted to be an Indian, Ian wanted to be a cowboy(thanks mom for making his costume...it ROCKED!!) and I had Adeline be a chicken. They were a hit if you could imagine! LOL. We started off by going to the ward trunk-or-treat then we headed off to a great neighborhood that is part of our ward. We ended up with three FULL buckets of candy and tired legs! Adeline was so cute to say trick-or-treat and thank you!

Addy liked to feel her costume because it was soooooft.

This is an older couple if you can believe it. Their front yard is plastered with pumpkins real and fake, Halloween music and good treats! This is only part of the pumpkins too! The kids love to go to the pumpkin house!

Y-Ball

Elijah wanted to play basketball this fall. It has been interesting to see him play in a team setting. He is really good at defense and likes to full court press(something they aren't supposed to do)He follows directions really well and doesn't hog the ball....He had 2 blocked shots, a steal, and one basket for his first game! Good job buddy!

Pumpkin Carving

This was our FHE activity the other night. The boys were sooooo excited to carve the pumpkin, such BIG talkers....they wouldn't even put their hands in the pumpkin. Well we got Elijah too once and that was it. So mommy had to come to the rescue. We have to make sure it is lit every night!

Out & About....Rock Climbing Class

It was soooo nice the other day I decided to take Ian and Adeline to the park for some lunch and good times. Ian's friend Brandon came along too. They had a great time and it was nice to get out of the house for awhile!

Ian wanted to take a rock climbing class this year. On the first day he climbed all the way to the top and rang the bell, of course I didn't have my camera(don't know what I was thinking)anyway, these pics are from his last day of class and he was NOT in the mood to climb to the top.....hopefully he will again when G&G Thomas come to visit! He had a great time and was the best behaved child there!

This is Ian telling me that he is NOT going to the top......no talking him into it!

I am out of clever titles.....

My mom sent a package with some clothes for Adeline and the baby in it and Addy couldn't have been more excited! She loved the jammies and HAD to put them on!

The kids got Halloween cards from G&G and they had some glitter on them. I didn't realize how many questions about glitter there was.....

I haven't seen one of these in a while...

Robert blow dried Addy's hair tonight and this was the result!

Out of the Mouth of my children...

Adeline didn't want to go to bed and she kept calling for daddy so I had Robert come up and she said NOOOOOO mommy....little game.
Mom: "So I said do you want daddy or not?"
Adeline: "Not."

Robert found some boots for hunting and they were on clearance for $5.00!!! He was soooo proud of his find he had to show them off to the kids. He was telling them that they were water resistant and so on and Elijah said, "So you can walk on water then?" LOL Robert said hopefully someday, but not yet!

Ian tells me the other night that he needs his own room because Elijah makes to many weird noises. I then told him that he makes some weird noises himself and sometimes snores. He of course denied that and went on about all the different and weird noises his brother makes. I told him he better get used to it.

I was talking with Adeline the other night about her little sister and asked her what we should name her. She said, "Apple juice." We are stuck for girl names this time around I like Abigail Johanna and Gwendlyn Marie but Robert isn't set on either of those.....do you have any names you would like to share?

More Stuffs

A couple Sundays ago the kids had a wrestling match with Robert....so much fun....for the kids.

Ian went on his first field trip with his preschool class to the Zoo.


I got lucky and got this shot...it was through the glass so it looks a little weird, but the kids love it!

LOL I have to laugh every time I see this picture. I had cleaned out the car, washed their car seat covers and just got done putting Adeline's back together and she wanted to sit in it. Well when it was time to put the seat back in the car she wasn't going for that! Not doing her hair yet sure adds to the feel on this pic, don't ya say?!
Adeline says, "Look mom I wash the baby!"

I haven't taken good pics of the kids in FOREVER so last night I bribed them with some ice cream and we were on our way. I got 5 shots taken and Ian got stung by a bee....seriously they were in a good mood too. Needless to say that was the shortest photo session I have ever had. We will have to try again in a different location! Can you tell where Ian got stung?!

Up on the River.....AGAIN!

This was on the 19th, yes I am a little slow getting it up. Anyway, yep we went up on the river once again....one of our favorite day trips to do. In this first picture Elijah is celebrating that we FINALLY made it....worth it though!

Here Robert and Ian are hunting for grasshoppers! Great bait this time of year. The boys really like this because you pull there "jumpers" off as they call it!

We started doing this a couple years ago in Portland. You find some pine needles that are stuck together(usually three are stuck in the same bundle or whatever it's called)we each take one and on the count of three we pull. Whoever gets the top on theirs is a winner.....yes they are easily entertained.

They are fishing for guppies....good luck boys!

We were having a snack when out of nowhere this thing flew right at my face. I don't think the kids have seen their prego mamma move so fast! LOL that would have been a funny site!

Adeline was having a great time splashing me! She is so cute!

Robert catching a fish.....by the look on his face the fish must not have put up much of a fight!

BSU ROCKS

We had a HOUSE FULL Friday night for the game but it was a BLAST!!! BSU is so fun to watch, not to mention all the cute kiddos we had running around! Thanks guys for good food and a great night!

Randomness

The boys like to have a race every morning before school.....not sure why, well yes I do they are boys. Ofcourse Adeline has to join in.

When Elijah and Ian both had school Adeline had to have her backpack too. Every day she asks if she is going to school too.

It was nice to see Ian and Adeline playing together, usually it's Elijah and Ian and poor Addy is by herself. Ian helped Addy get her skirt on too.

As cute and girly as she can be she is the messiest kid we have had!

Adeline was helping me make dinner. I put the dinner in the oven and looked up and this is what I saw. She said, "Mom, want some cheese too?"

After conference Adeline had to put Daddy's shoes on. So cute. I love it when she tries to walk around the house! LOL
